Good Morning. Very exciting news fron Sharp regarding the LC-70LE732U. My question is how does this tv compair to the Samsung D8000 series? I am in the market for a replacement for my Toshiba Cinema Series CRT 65 inch. I really hope that the Sharp is a good replacement, but I really am looking for a true LCD/LED experience. I have seen the D7000 and like the look and pop of the picture. Do you feel I will get this with the new Sharp or would it pay to wait for the Samsung UN65D8000? Also I have been in the market for about a year and really don't want to wait too much longer.

My only complaint is it still retains a little bit of the artificial look that most LED's portray. This one does it the least, but the picture is crystal clear and thats what matters to me.
I guessed I missed it, but which 70" did you get (model number)?

The LG is barely a product and looked awful at CES anyway. It's almost like "who even cares if its a product, it's clearly not there yet".

I am pleased you like your Sharp. I personally am much more interested in the full-array model as I'd buy this for a half decade or more and the price delta seems small over that length of time. If it's as "better" as I think and your reports match what I'd experience on the less expensive model, I'm bullish.

That said, the Quattrons to date have had serious issues with dialing in reasonably accurate color. So I hope that's fixed. I may have to head down to Sunnyvale for at least a look-see @ Fry's.
yes head on down there and give us a report thanks.

How are the built-in speakers (for casual TV watching)?

mokushiroku - Are you going to have it professionally calibrated?

I'm very interested in how good the picture might become when calibrated.

Debating:

Samsung UN65D8000 - best features, great remote, gets good reviews, edge lit mico dimming, 240 hz, 3D, 2D - 3D conversion, 65 inch

Sony XBR-65HX929 - simulated 960 hz, full array backlighting with local dimming, 3D, 2D - 3D conversion, 65 inch

or

Sharp LC-70LE935U - 240 hz, full array backlighting with local dimming, 3D, 2D - 3D conversion, 70 inch.

I am leaning toward the Sharp becuase of size and quad pixel tecnology, but do not want to wait forever for the set.

Any recommendations? or expected availability?

Thanks!!!

The Samsung UN65c8000 was total crap with the edge lit LED. The flash light effect in the corners was really bad. I would not even think about the UN65D8000 until they fix this issue. I would venture to say since they are still going with edge lit instead of full array, this will still be an issue. When my wife can point out the flash light effect, you know it's bad!

The Samsung does not even qualify as an announced product. YMMV, but I'd never sit around waiting for something the company can't even commit to building.

Let's put our money where our mouth is: $500 says you cannot buy a 75-inch Samsung in the U.S. this year. Period.

Yea you right I mean why should I believe some random dude on a msg board who thinks he know all. Just keep preaching your nonsense, personally I don't care if a 75 inch Samsung comes out this year or not. I do know that I would believe a national magazine who's editors are in closer contact with company's than some random dude on a msg board. If it isn't released by the end of the year, there will be a model number before the end of the year. With the tv coming out in early 2012.

You just keep preaching your crap until your blue in the face because I don't really care about what you have to say.

They stamp 8 panels from a single sheet which is equivalent to what other manufs can do with 55" size.Thus 70" panel stamping is not that expensive to them. In addition their plant was underutilized and they are undercut on smaller panels by other manufs. Stamping 70" and not taking fat profits on them is a very good strategy for them - now they are undercutting others . One question still about the cost is how many LEDs are used in the 70" full array. Some real saving is done on local dimming/3D though.

If LG pull out is confirmed it will be Sharp effect. Which is understandable, it is impossible to sell 72" at 3x Sharp 70" price .

if both 732 and 935 are 70" array why are there $2k difference? Frankly I was suspecting 732 was edge lit until it was confirmed by owner to be otherwise. Wow.

The cost reduction in 10G is significant but cannot be that significant >50% as per other player's MSRP. $5000 make sense but not $3000. I would say they are subsidizing you. The only logical explanation is that Sharp is trying to jump start a 70" market. It is just as illogical to have no local dimming but with full array??

In any case if anyone is a value buyer, ie best bang for buck, the 732 wins hands down. I never even expected them to price below plasmas at these sizes for few more years.

U been following the market long???

If u have then Rogo's assumptions seem FAR more probable based on Samsung's history with big LCD's and the amount of info they have released thus far. At the time of CES, when the article was probably written, production looked much more likely than it does today.

If Rogo pooped out a turd and said it was the best LED TV he'd ever seen I would be inclined to believe him well before your dumb ass my friend. 24,000 post earn you that credibility and the guy simply knows his stuff. Be respectful even if you dont agree.

Lol here is another person I could give a crap less about what they say. Post count means NOTHING but that person has no life. I don't care if you believe me or not. I haven't said anything that wasn't printed. I have made nothing up. You don't tell me who to respect. People earn my respect not the other way around. I don't just slam people and call them dumb ass's you started that childish little game. I didn't call anyone any names, that was you brother. Post count means NOTHING!! We will see what happens, but your not going to tell me who to respect!

Longer than you I bet! Just because I haven't posted on this forum 24k times means nothing. NOTHING!!

Hum strange that just a quick search can come up with all kinds of information.

Samsung UN75D9500

75" 1080P LED 3D TV WITH SMART HUB

The D9500 is the top of line from Samsung in 2011, This LED packs in every new feature available from Samsung. The 1080p, 3D panel is available in 5 sizes from a massive 75 inches down to 46 inches. This TV won't be available until fall 2011 but we certainly looking forward to it.

Weird huh?

I don't listen to people assumptions about products. That's just what they are their assumptions. If you thing that someone who sit on their ass and posts their assumptions as facts then you have some of your own problems. Again with the name calling. Wow your one fine adult. I don't know why I'm waisting my time responding to you. If you were standing in front of me I still wouldn't give you the time of day.

Dude your contributing nothing useful to this thread but re-posting Samsung press clippings, Rogo has been here for years with inside information, calibrations tips and just an overall excellent analysis of the whole flat panel TV market, your not going to impress anyone in this thread by re-posting company propaganda, just last year for example Sharp & Vizio were on the record to release a 68" & 72" LCD respectively and neither saw the light. there is more history in what he say's then what your saying and more people value and welcome his insight than yours(right now anyways).

Clearly, 24,000 posts over 12 years proves I have no life. Please do not share this information with my wife, business partner, friends or family. They would be disappointed to learn I live for AVS posting -- and not for them.

My track record on "tea leaf" reading speaks for itself. And probably stacks up quite well against the Sound and Visions of the world, who tend to parrot what some PR rep "intimates", whether that's grounded in reality or not.

Is there any place offering 0% financing on the 70LE732U? My 6 year old 60 inch Sony just sh*t the bed (like today with no warning), and I'm needing a replacement. Would LOVE to pick one of these up, if I can do it fast.

I guess there is zero chance of me getting one by Saturday mid-morning? Ridiculous notion, I'm sure, but I'm kind of desperate, as I'm an enormous UK fan, and I've got an appointment with the Final Four.

Any guidance or help would be much, much appreciated. TIA, fellas.

I see logic here. First, if Sharp can stamp 8x70 inchers on a sheet of glass it is having efficiency of other guys stamping 55" and small cost overhead over 55". Second, if their 10G manuf was underutilized it was pressing them to run at full capacity. These two factors combined make the logic of producing 70" with low profit for the masses. Now, the 935 is different story. This is fat profit device for high-end. Just adding local dimming and some gimmicks like 3D and bump up price by 2 grands. So the 732 is barebone to differentiate them. How much it would really cost to put local dimming into it - 200$ or say even 400$? But they did not make this in 732 knowing that people buy it without locdim too and at the same time they got quite a big differentiating factor for the 935.

Absolutely. For value, 935 is really overpriced - but it is still undercutting other guys. As a product for videophiles it has a lot of value though if its PQ is stellar.

The reason for full array is local dimming. Otherwise it is not worth it to manufacture full array.

10G Glass cost will be major cost but as I posted earlier, it is likely they selling 732 at cash cost to share the depreciation burden of their other 70" products. We'll see in their 1Q end June reporting I guess. If I'm right their cash profit will drop but operating loss decreased.
